Not anywhere near as severe as those in terms of mortality. But you never know how these things evolve and mutate. It’s worrisome, and it is disrupting the supply chain which is a big deal. And it is interrupting the global economy in significant ways. It looks like the mortality rate is only about 2 to 3% which if that maintains it would be good. But the downside is that it travels well because no symptoms show for five days and it seems to be spreading rather quickly.
jist go to a legit news source like NUT or WSJ or the CDC or WHO directly. As far as I can tell Trump hasn’t fired the CDC director yet but I’m sure he’s thinking about it
